>100% natty
>lifting horses and breaking iron chains
>The weights should be fairly light to start with. 5-10 lbs. is sufficient. The can be performed in 10-15 repetitions and 2-3 sets. Depending on the exercise, I use either 12 lb. or 20 lb. dumbbells.
>And when and by how much should you increase the weights? Eugen says that when you reach 120 reps in an exercise, you add 2 lbs (1 kg) and start over with the beginning number of reps.
>Eugen wants you do this every day
What exercise is he talking about here

He just wants to eliminate any competition by handing out bullshit advice. Much like Arnie did in his time.
>>35168792
stll better than 99% of fit
>>35168894
for you
>>35168697
I knew it. Restdays are just a huge meme.
Sandow used coke to cut. He wouldn't be classed as natty by any federation. Except the IFBB.
>>35168697
he didn't said it was supposed to be fast
>>35168985
nooooo you are supposed to do SS and perma bulk. remember to rest 5 days a week
>>35168697
>check his book
>more than a half of recommended exercises are curls
>>35168697

There literally was no competition in his time. I don't mean no other people trying to become strong or good looking, I mean no one was actually competing.
>>35169128
>There was no competition
That explains why he looks like shit actually.
>>35168697
>up to 43 bicep curls with 15lb dumbbell in a set before failure
>gotta get to 120 before movin on up to 17lb
And I thought I was doing well...
>>35169166
>looks Iike shit
And tell us how you look
>>35168697
if you follow his method ud probably be able to lift life long and injury free
>>35169184
>Implying my body makes any difference about how Sandow looks
He has decent size but his pecs are nonexistent and his frame is shit. Totally subpar for bodybuilding, but if there's no competition then of course he wins everything.
>>35169184
>le ad hominem meme
lots of people in /cbt/ threads look better than sandow desu senpai
>>35169235
ya but I'm asking you
>>35169211
He didn't train chest
>>35169211
A large chest was considered feminine in his time (like boobs).
>but if there's no competition then of course he wins everything.
>mfw
>>35169272
I look like shit
>>35169305

>>35169348
Obviously
>>35169174
Underrated kek
>>35169027
BASED CURLER
>>35168792
Well above average height for his time. He was 5'9 when 5'6 was average and 5'3 was a manlet.
>>35169211
>Totally subpar for bodybuilding
>Hurr I think modern bodybuilding standards applied hundred years ago
>>35169174

I'm sure he looked great in his time but it's stupid to take him as an example now.
>>35168697
>I use either 12 lb. or 20 lb. dumbbells.
Rippetoe and amateur powerlifters got btfo
>>35169027
I'm more interested in his diet
we're probably eating poison compared to his nutritious foods, including huge amounts of creatine in meat.
>>35170304
He basically says in his book that there's no need for any special kind of diet, only that moderation be followed. Of course, given the time period, there would be no heavily processed foods in his diet and any meats he did eat would be organic, free range, grass fed, etc.

>>lifting horses and breaking iron chains
Profs?
>>35169027

Cocaine was legal then and widely used. Sandow and other athletes were quite open about it. Little old ladies used coke back then for a pick me up even. Google any number of sources.
There's a history blog post here about some of it http://www.thehistorypostblog.co.uk/tag/eugen-sandow/
They didn't regard it any different to we do say creatine nowadays. It was legal, made by pharmaceutical companies and sold over the counter.
But yes we know know it's a powerful cutting agent a la ephedrine. It wouldn't have given him gains as it's not anabolic but it did very much help him cut bodyfat without catabolic effects.
